Next stop Lijiang

---

We arrived into Lijiang's new town at the end of our long public bus ride and our Gap escort had arranged for some local porters to come and collect our bags so we could walk 30 minutes into the Old Town to where we were staying.

Immediately we fell in live with this old town, with the small laneway's and cobbled stones and beautiful Chinese architecture. We checked into our Guest House which was smack bang in the middle of the old town and was a lovely little guest house just off the Market Square.

Lijiang Old Town is a mixture of cobbled alleys and canals that amaze you!. The town is full of Guesthouses, Cafe's and Restaurants and covered with red lanterns and shops selling all sorts of souvenirs. The local Naxi traders who still use the old town and are seen throughout in their local Naxi ethnic dress. At the edge of town is a fantastic Dragon Pool Park where you catch a glimpse of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance.
